I am the GREATEST Uncle in the world and the WORST brother all at once!

[matcom]

since I don't have kids of my own (and won't), I like to spoil my niece and nephew (daughter and son to my repuke, evangelical sister).

sooooo, talking to my sis on Thanksgiving (first conversation in months) she lets slip that my niece wants an electric guitar for xmas. told sis I thought that was a great idea and sis says NO WAY! too noisy a present (she said something about sanity but I think I was drunk at the time)

soooooooooooo

Uncle Matcom JUST ordered and sent down a kid-sized ELECTRIC GUITAR WITH AMPLIFIER for my lovely little neice.



ssssiiiiiilllleeeennnttttt nnnnniiiiigggghhhhttttt .... hhhooooooolllllyyyyyy nnnniiiiigggghhhhhttttt....

1. Well done!

its always good to encourage kids to learn music. I got my nephew a drum set.

[matcom]

4. i *almost* got my nephew the SAME!

figured i'd save that for next year's gift though

[Tyrone Slothrop]

10. By this time next year, your niece will probably need a drummer...

[matcom]

12. EXCELLENT point!

[Ellen Forradalom]

30. Next stop for loud toys

2. Way to Go!

I'm in the same situation: no kids, but spoil to pieces my niece and nephew.

Sometimes my brother is: about the spoiling I lay on the kids

[CottonBear]

3. Oooo! You're gonna be in trouble...

with your sister that is.

Your neice is gonna lova ya baby!

May I suggest that you purchase earplugs for the parents.

[matcom]

5. fuck 'em

they believe in Creationism

since they didn't evolve, they don't have ears right?

[CottonBear]

6. LOL!

Have you seen the pink Hello Kitty electric guitars? They are very cool.
What color did you order?

[MissMillie]

7. glad you're not my kid's uncle

!!!!!!!

I bought my son a little set of electronic drums one year, and a set of earphones to go with it.

[Hugin]

8. Next year send a king sized set of Legos(tm)...

The gift that keeps on giving with every step.

[lukasahero]

9. We can beat that - electronic drum set for a hyperactive 9 year old boy :)

I think my husband truly hates his sister-in-law to have done this to his brother.

[matcom]

11. the Christmas season IS all about GIVING!

[lukasahero]

18. :) I'm pretty sure next year the relatives will

leave both your house and ours off their gift giving list.

[Canadian Socialist]

13. Fisher Price Marching Band + 5 yr old nephew

you do the math. heeee. My sister didn't speak to me for 2 months. double heee.

[bleedingheart]

14. nothing beats the monkey who beats cymbal's ...I got that from an Aunt

my mother threw it away after she went insane...

[youthere]

15. Too bad they are older (I assume)...

or I would reccomend the TUneyVille Choo-Choo..It's this annoying train that plays music..loud and screeching.
I hear Guantanimo plans to use them in prisoner interrogations.

[blogslut]

16. An ex-boyfriend once gave my kid a collection

...of toys. Legos, Jacks, liquid bubbles and musical instruments. All the things a mother loves to step on, step in or be driven mad by the sound. He knew what he was doing. He was a fellow parent and had that evil glint in his eye.

[BarenakedLady]

17. Awesome!

Of course, if you sent that to one of my kids, I would kill you. But in this case, since it isn't me, it's damn funny.

[Maestro]

19. I got the same for my daughter.

And I think ole Daddy is going to gift himself with a new bass. I haven't played bass in about 15 years.

[Gormy Cuss]

20. Your sister should seek proper revenge.

Perhaps gift cards to the Olive Garden?

[LibraLiz1973]

37. LOL. How about Taco Bell coupons?

It's starting to look like you really just should NOT eat out anymore


Or ever go on a cruise

[BikeWriter]

21. I recently gave a karaoke amplifer and camera. :-)

[Mrs.Matcom]

34. We did the Karaoke machine

last year, with the sing along music cd's...one of which was some god awful disney princess sing along.

[BikeWriter]

39. ROFLMBO! That will teach them to mess with you! :-)

[huskerlaw]

22. Hahaha, my aunt

got my sister and I matching firemen helmets for Christmas one year. Complete with red strobe light on top...and the world's most annoying siren noise.

Somehow those got regifted to my cousins the following Christmas...

[meegbear]

23. Uncle Matcom, I want a new car ...

PLLLLLEEEEEEEEEEAAZEEEE!!

[matcom]

36. you my friend are getting my....

'Hot' "ROD"

[underpants]

24. What about a Monkey Peeler?

[matcom]

25. too quiet

BUT i'm thinking Mrs Matcom might benefit from it

on edit: isn't it about time 'Uncle Matcom' starts sending gifts for Under-baby?

[Taverner]

26. Matcom, you rock

Simply you rock among rockers

[matcom]

28. and now my niece shall rock

LOUDLY methinks

[MissB]

27. Evile.

Pure, unadulterated evile.

[nini]

29. swweeeeetttttttttttttt

lucky kid.


She's lucky to have you as an uncle.

[SOteric]

31. Excellent. Just make sure

she doesn't grow up to be a Christian Rock star. Start her out with some of those devil-worshipping Jimi Hendrix and Satan-spewing Rolling Stones tunes as soon as possible.

[matcom]

33. ......

[Mrs.Matcom]

35. Holy Sheeet!!

you crack me up!!!!

[hippywife]

42. You beat me to it!

I was going to suggest some tab books for really good rock hits. LOL

[Little Wing]

44. This should do nicely

[edbermac]

32. You should have got a guitar from Esteban.

He plays nice music...plus he wears a cool hat.

[LSK]

38. OMG YOU FUCKING RULE!!!

[gr8dane_daddy]

40. What color did you get?

I hope "BLUE"!!!!

Great gift IMO. Did you get the Spinal Tap amp that goes up to "11"?

[ghostsofgiants]

41. Niiiiiiiiice!

Haha!

[GOPisEvil]

43. It's at times like this when being an only child sucks!

Man, if only I had nieces and nephews to corrupt and a sibling to annoy.

[many a good man]

45. You have no idea what you are creating

[Redstone]

46. Now get the nephew a drum set! It's the PERFECT Uncle Present.
